Supporting Research in Schools
Empowering independent schools to drive positive change through comprehensive data collection and analysis.
Welcome
Introduction
Welcome to the Center for Institutional Research in Independent Schools.
The Center for Institutional Research in Independent Schools (CIRIS) exists to support the work of institutional research practitioners as they help schools collect, analyze, and operationalize data in support of their mission. We provide professional development resources, networking opportunities, and best practice recommendations for both institutional researchers and school leaders interested in building data-informed, mission-driven feedback structures.
We hope you find the resources on this site helpful, and we are always thrilled to hear ideas or questions from members of the institutional research community, so please feel free to reach out!
